What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Open Range R.V. Company is recalling certain model year 2011 fifth wheel travel trailers and toy haulers manufactured between August 17, 2010, and September 9, 2010. These vehicles are equipped with Dexter axles that may have cracks in the spindle weld.
The cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle. This creates a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash to other vehicles and compromises the driver's control of the vehicle.
Open Range is working with Dexter Axle to inspect the axle serial number and replace the axle if it falls within the affected serial number range. The replacement will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on December 27, 2010. Owners may contact Open Range at 1-260-768-7771 or Dexter Axle at 1-800-400-2164.
